. and to tlre letters of reference marked'thereon, making a 'part of this specification'.

` The nature of my invention consists in the fastening, attachedv to any kind orishaped hutten, and made oi' wire of any kind of-nietal, the wire being pointed at the outer end, and so bent as to form a loop or fastening to the cloth, as seen in the drawings, whilst the point i's turned upwards Atoward the button, and-inwards toward the centre, and on the outside of the cloth, between the butt-on 'and the cloth, sothat the eye or loop of' the fastening is on the inside of the cloth,` and the point 0n the outside, thus preventing the' peint from coming in Contact with the fesh of the wearer, and forming a 'complete i`aste1iing,tl1at'is instantly fastened in the cloth hy forcing the point through the cloth, turning thehutton once arounduand by drawing` the button outwards, the loop is rmly set and held inthe,l cloth, soself-fastened as to require no sewing or bending of' the wire afterwards to secure the button to' the'oloth, whilst the same button can be 'changed to be worn and used for years.

Figure 1 shows the button and pin.

Figure 2 shows howr it is 4attaehed to the cloth. v

I. am aware that a. screw-shaped wire-fasteninghas been used, but this vI` do not claim; but- Whatl claim as my invention, and desire to secureby Letters Patent', sv A button-fastening formed of wire bent and shaped as shown and the spiral turned upwards for the purposes set forth. i l MAX ROSENTHAL.
